Our dependent approach, unlike traditional partitioning and blocking methods, computes overlapping self-contained modules (i.e., locality modules [1]}).
Locality modules guarantee the extraction of all semantically related entities
for a given signature.
This capability enhances the coverage results and enables the inclusion of the
(semantically) relevant information required by an alignment system.
It is worth mentioning that
the need of self-contained and covering modules, although not thoroughly
studied, was also highlighted in a preliminary work by
Paulheim [2]}.
